Previous home sale prices (not on LR website), council bands
Discussion
I recently purchased my new old house, and I'm certain my solicitor said the prices paid were in the old transfer documents, but when you buy documents on the LR they're just the title documents.
The transfers are from ~ 78 and 88 ish. Then the last transfer was in 2023 for a notional value (inherited) which I have, then mine in 2025 as a purchase.
I'm looking for the data to drop my council tax band down one level as it's currently a G and the neighbour (same design but a slightly smaller house on the plot of two) got theirs down to an F in recent few years using old pricing information.
Between the neighbours data and mine (pretty sure I heard it sold for £96,000 in 88 ish), then the £160,000 G bracket in1991 does indeed seem a bit toppy, my quick sums based on "UK average house prices" gives £102,000 by 91, nowhere near £160,000.
Are transfer documents less accessible than title documents? I can't see an obvious way to access. I'm having trouble getting hold of my conveyancer despite offering a fee for help (they said they will have copies of the documents and deeds from the conveyancing)
Is there any other source of this information?
